Answer 2

It means "failed subject" in education or "matter pending" relating to a subject I suppose, still not resolved.

Thanks. I understand the literal meaning, but I think it has a different meaning within the spanish culture? Any clues? - Adele2206, Feb 8, 2010

If you want something more than a fairly literal, you need to provide some context. - samdie, Feb 8, 2010
